RAISING A SUNKEN SHIP.
WRECKERs AT WORK ON THE WELLS
CITY, OFF HOBOKEM

Scenes which Many River Travellers have
Pondered Over-The Birrest deb or the
Kind Ever Attempted Near New York.
IN sunkcn steamerp'
That exclamation was made by almost every
passenger by tho Hoboken Ferry who stood on
tho front deck Of the boat and happened to
look over toward the New York shore as the
boats glded out Of the Hoboken slips ono
morning early In February last, Midway be-
tween Hoboken and New York two masts and
smokestack were sticking out Of the wator.
Divers got their chains under her on Saturday
last, and soon she will DO at tho surface again.
There were all sorts Of surmlses as to the
identity OF the vessel, the cause OF the acct
dent. and as to whether there had been
any loss of life or not. The specula-
tions In regard to the cause varied from
collision to dynamite. The collision theory
proved correct. But the collision was quite out
OF the ordinary. For two steamers that were
anchored had collided. One was q Yankee and
the other Britishor. and, as has before been
the case In naval engagements between Yam
KEGS and the Britshers. the Yank continued
to float, and the Britisher went to the bottom.
The sunken vessel proved to be the Wells City.
During the night the Ice foe had caused her to
drag her anchor, and she drifted helplessly
down tho stream till she collided with the
American steamer Guyandotte. which was
riding at anchor.
From the time she sunk until the present
time the Wells City and her surroundings have
been q source OF interest to the thousands who
daily cross the river at that point. The spec
tacle gradually became enlarged by accretion

A few weeks ago number OF objects which
looked like square floating boxes were seen on
either side OF the wreck, and tho schooners
were observed to he moored on the outer sides
OF the boxes There was a vast deal OF putting
from the engines on the schooners, much
hoisting OF cables and clnnking OF chains.
Next 1t was noticed that the boxes which had
been floating high out Of water had been sunk
to level with It,; The tug, which had not been
ton. was back again and lying to near the
for action at a moments notice; Then there
was a great noise of pumping, and the
boxes which in the morning had been
almost submerged were seen In the even
ing to have risen somewhat, and water
was rushing out Of them. 1t was general talk
among the ferry passengers that In crossing
tho next morning they would see part Of tho
Wells Citys hull above water. But they didn't:
The boxes were again floating high out OF
and chains was still there, and the steamer ap-
pnrently was still stuck in Yankee mud. A
Jerseyman declared eXultingly that the clay OF
his native State extended out as far as where
the steamer lay and held 1t In It's red grip.
Whereupon an Englshman, who crosses the
ferry twice every week day, suggested that IL
they would get somo Jersey mosquitoes to
perforate the deck OF the sunken steamer with
their stings. aud have u diver under the deck

they flew away, would raise the vessel. The

THE OLD YEAR.

THE OLD YEANs
ssnIMMED, faded, fled away; gone to the
land of shadows from whence traveller
comes not back" or message sends Of good or
ill report It left u.s. bearing the scars OF terri
BILE conflict In its course, it saw the fair plan
ct over which it presided, tossed and rent and
torn by the giant power of an unknown and
unseen force which brought death and ruin and
CONSERVATION to the inhabiters of fair land and
proud city 1t saw the hopes of the husband
man borne away on the flood, parched and with
cred by the drought, or scattered by mighty
Winds 1t saw fortunes swept away and the
patient accumulations of years grow less-but
tt wasn't all shadow. To many of us it gave
health and strength and a measure of prosperity
equal to our deserts. So it has been to the York
Drug Store man who hereby makes proper ac-
acknowledgements to his patrons.
OF the proudest monarch it can only be said at
the last, that he slept with his fathers. 1886 with
all its distinctions sleeps with the dead centuries,
its predecessors, and
1857
reigns in its stead. Of the new year we can as
vet know nothing. We congratulate ourselves
and friends that we have the privilege OF being
able to respond to the annual roll call OF the
living and hope that thereare good things in store
for us in the future past our expectations or de-
servings. With best wishes for all, we are re-
